When I was last in #Eswatini 5 years ago, parts of Mbabane Government Hospital were under construction, so I was delighted to see the completed facilities on my return to the country. A result of our bilateral cooperation, the hospital renovation is a concrete example of #Taiwan’s commitment to our allies & the well-being of our peoples.

This year marks 55 years of our diplomatic alliance with the Kingdom of Eswatini, as well as the 55th anniversary of the country’s founding & the 55th birthday of King Mswati III. Today I depart for #Eswatini to offer the congratulations of the #Taiwanese people on these milestones & celebrate our longstanding friendship.

This year’s Presidential Office Concert, held at the Kaohsiung Music Center, is just a day away. In #Kaohsiung you can take in the arts at Pier2 Art Center or try some classic #Taiwanese snacks at the newly renovated Yancheng 1st Public Market, both well worth the trip.
